Call for External Reviewers for RFP 2024
The Robert Carr Fund (RCF) is currently seeking independent Expert Reviewers to assist in the evaluation of the 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP).
As part of this process, we invite interested individuals to submit their Expression of Interest. The RFP was officially launched on May 1, 2024, and RCF will be accepting applications until July 22, 2024. In order to facilitate a comprehensive review, we are seeking a diverse pool of experts specializing in HIV, human rights, and underserved populations, with a particular emphasis on civil society and community responses to the epidemic.
Role of Expert Reviewers:
Independent Expert Reviewers will play a crucial role in assessing and evaluating the applications received. Utilizing predetermined criteria, reviewers will offer feedback and pose inquiries for clarification to enhance the quality of proposals. Detailed information regarding the reviewers’ responsibilities, evaluation criteria, and timeline can be found in the RFP 2024 guidance document, specifically in the Process for Application Review section (n.9).
Eligibility Criteria:
We’re looking for people with diverse expertise related to HIV, geographical regions and inadequately served populations (ISPs), who will be invaluable in assisting our Program Advisory Panel (PAP) in assessing applications for the 2025-2027 RCF funding cycle.
To be eligible you must:
- Have experience in working with ISPs.
- Have experience in one of RCF’s result areas (Network strength and influence, Human Rights, Access to Services, and Resource Accountability).
- Be fluent in English.
Review Timeline:
We anticipate that Expert Reviewers will be available to conduct evaluations throughout the month of August (estimated between August 1st and August 31st, 2024). Furthermore, the RCF Secretariat will host a webinar to introduce reviewers to the Fund, the RFP 2024, and the review criteria and approach for providing feedback on applicants’ proposals.
Compensation:
It’s an unpaid position, yet compensation will be paid for the time investment.
